As educators, it is our responsibility
to create a safe and nurturing

challenge this goal.

Ethical issues and problems in
schools are complex and
multifaceted, often involving a
delicate balance between the rights
and responsibilities of students,
teachers, administrators, and
parents.

as it involves shaping behavior, maintaining order, and
ensuring a safe and conducive learning environment.
Ethical dilemmas arise when considering the fairness and
effectiveness of disciplinary measures.
Issues of Discipline:

just punishing the student, promoting

teaches and reinforces positive
behavior expectations, prompting
substantial behavioral change.

Student-Led Discipline

by entrusting them with discipline and
decision-making power, creating a sense of
ownership and responsibility.

6. Grading

education. They help measure student learning and progress,

partnership with students'
families to reinforce academic
integrity.

learning over grades and

importance of academic
integrity for their personal

students to create an honor
code, a document
summarizing the principles of

students and faculty.

bus. It can also travelling to or from school, in
the youth’s neighborhood, or on the internet.

inclusiveness, providing students with
skills and strategies to prevent and
stop bullying behaviors.

the bully and the victim, allowing both
parties to explore their feelings and
perspectives, and work towards a
resolution that is mutually agreed
upon.

bullying behavior and encourage them
to speak up, promoting a culture of
allies who stand up for what is right,
regardless of the social cost.

special treatment, whether due to disabilities,
exceptional talents, or personal connections.

The Problem
Teacher's bias towards particular students or groups can lead to
inequitable treatment, resulting in academic loss, discrimination, and
damaged relationships.
Solution
Develop an inclusive classroom environment that fosters relationships based on
respect and trust, promoting individualized learning strategies, and providing support
based on students' needs rather than the teacher's convenience.
